Alradco oil cooler fittings

[tquick87]

I've been trying to find the correct fitting for the oil cooler on a alradco radiator. I know the thread is 3/4-16 but i'm having a hard time finding the correct fitting to run a -8 AN hose to the cooler. I've talked with peter who sells the radiators and we're both stumped. The straight cut o-ring fittings don't work because they don't thread in enough. Someone has had to been successful doing this. Please no replys about not running the oil cooler because i'm not interested in doing that.

My stock oil lines leaked a little no matter how much I worked the fitting. Didn't want to torque down too much, and I was torquing a lot. Ended up chucking the cooler altogether, but I'm curious what you find.

I used these years ago when I used to offer braided oil cooler hose sets.

I've installed 6 of those and had no issues with the stock hoses.

Does a -8 hose end screw into the male side? or do i need another fitting in between it and the hose end?

The female -8 hose end screws directly to these fittings.

Thanks mark. Do you know if anyone makes it in stainless?

No, think this is your only choice.

3/4-18 inverted flair, not 3/4-16. Carbon steel will be fine. Also on Amazon http://www.amazonsupply.com/weatherhead-c5880x8-flare-twin-fitting-inverted/dp/B00BKFR4G2
